Last summer we left home with $2,000.00 in US currency. Once in BC on Day 1 I found a Credit Union and exchanged $1,000.00 US for $1,250.00 CD with exchange rate. I had two rolls if Loonies left from a prior visit to CD from years ago when I lived in Ketchikan for 4 yrs prior to moving to Juneau before I retired.
I was finally able to use all my Loonies doing laundry and at rig power wash outlets. When we needed more many laundromats had change machines that will change paper currency to their coin, the Loonie. Since a $5.00 bill is their smallest denomination you get 5 Loonies. Most machines will do $10.00 bills and some will even do a $20.00 bill.
And of course all RV Park owners will make change for you so you can give it back to them.
I even stopped at a laundry mat in Skagway and got 20 Loonies in a small baggie so we could do laundry back at the RV Park as the office was rarely open. It all worked out for us.
